- Description:
- The National Congress of American Indians expresses support for the Indian Self-Determination and Educational Reform Act of 1973, particularly in regards to promoting Indian self-determination and improving educational opportunities for children. They support the provisions for tribal contracting of services and greater tribal control over program management. However, they express apprehension over certain requirements in the bill, such as financial obligations for school districts. They also advocate for the establishment of community education committees with significant powers and additional funding for the Indian Advisory Council on Education. Overall, they support the bill but request further consultation on certain aspects.
